    PPP is a far more relevant metric for less globalized economies which are less reliant on foreign imports.

    Whereas Russian imports are 15.6% of GDP and Chinese imports are 17.5% of GDP, imports in Western countries (UK, Canada, France, Germany, Spain) make up about 40-50% of GDP on average.
